Building better workplaces through compliance, culture, connection

You did it again!  Thank you to everyone for continuing to participate in Cascade’s quarterly HR Trends survey.  This survey was the second in our now quarterly series, collecting data on key workplace issues related to compliance, recruitment and retention, compensation, DEI and leadership. Cascade uses this data to make sure our members have the resources they need to address how these trends may impact the workplace.

Leaders are under a great deal of pressure and often find themselves increasingly stressed and anxious. This tension often bleeds into their personal lives causing disruption and unease.

If this sounds familiar to you, the following strategies may help you recognize and cope with stress before it becomes detrimental to your personal and professional life as well as your health.
